The invention belongs to the technical field of in vitro cell culture, and relates to an insect cell culture medium. The insect cell culture medium is prepared from carbohydrate, amino acid, inorganic salt, vitamins, yeast extract, lactoalbumin hydrolysate, cholesterol, linoleic acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, soyabean lecithin, glutamine, putrescine and 0.1 to 1 g / L of glycerinum. The insect cell culture medium is scientific in matching of various components, so that the living time of insect cells can be effectively prolonged, the cell can still have sufficient nutrition under the condition that the culture medium is not replaced for a long time, and the metabolic balance is maintained; and in addition, the culture medium contains fewer types of components and is simple in preparation and low in cost.
